Dear Families,
As a reminder for today’s early dismissal, we kindly ask all car rider families to park in designated parking spots behind the K-8 building when picking up students. Please do not park in the drop-off lane, along traffic flow lanes or use the front bus lane during dismissal.
With nearly 1,300 students being dismissed throughout the District, student safety is our top priority. Additional staff will be present along the K-8 building sidewalks to help direct traffic and answer questions.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal.
Diana Rea, Acting Superintendent
